The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the stored food material of fungi. We need to identify which among the given options is correct. 2. **Evaluating Option 1 - Cellulose**: - Cellulose is primarily found in the cell walls of plants. It is not used as a food storage material. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 3. **Evaluating Option 2 - Starch**: - Starch is a polysaccharide that serves as a storage form of energy in plants. Since fungi are not plants, they do not store food in the form of starch. Thus, this option is also incorrect. 4. **Evaluating Option 3 - Glycogen and Starch**: - This option includes glycogen, which is a storage form of energy in animals, and starch, which we already established is not used by fungi. Therefore, this option is incorrect as well. 5. **Evaluating Option 4 - Glycogen and Oil**: - Glycogen is indeed a stored food material in animals and is also found in fungi. Additionally, some fungi can store lipids (oils) as well. Therefore, this option is correct. 6. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is Option 4 - Glycogen and Oil.
